Brace yourself: Smurfs is a real thing that is actually going to happen.

If she's not 15, then Balaban could be seen as overreacting when he drops the entire series just for that. Of course she has to be 15.

Are you saying Teri Hatcher has mammary hubris?

Second Sight is awesome and fuck anyone who disagrees.

Agree that it's hit and miss. Agree that it's still worth watching.

No more fan mail or things to be signed after the twentieth of October. If that's the date on the envelope, it's going to be tossed. I'm warning you with peace and love but I've got too much to do!

I taught myself to ride a bike at 26. It took me a lot longer than it took Gloria. The hardest part was turning the bike the same direction that I was falling and pedaling MORE when I'm falling, not less.

How is this comment thread not longer? Luke and Gloria are pretty much the only reasons I watch this show (and I don't just mean because of Gloria's looks, she has incredible comic delivery).

I have no idea what you are talking about.

Thank God for less TV for a few weeks. I've been using this time to catch up on other shows. Just finished Men of a Certain Age Season 1 and Mad Men Season 3. Also working on Undeclared.

No offense, but even worse than gimmick posters are people who say "Gee, I wonder what GIMMICK POSTER would say about this article?"

I'm pretty sure hating on Funny People is the norm, actually.

I've started watching this series on DVD because of TV Club Classic, and a couple days ago my girlfriend decided she didn't want to watch it with me anymore after we watched "The Assistant."

Whatever Blomkamp does next, and whoever he does it with, I'm interested. District 9 gives this guy a lot of leeway with me.

Future inventory?

At the risk of sounding more negative than I usually like to, since I read The Simpsons Classic review right before this one, I can't help but compare them (also: both being lookbacks at cartoons that were very important to me during my childhood), and the Batman reviews come out looking pretty damn good in the…

With with 75% more Mr. Freeze than almost every HBO show, isn't is it worth it?

From what little I've heard of the premise of that series, it sounds too far-fetched to be enjoyable. Of course, a lot of books have unbelievable things like magic or aliens or whatever, but if presented in a believable way with consistency, it's fine.

I'd also like to read more this year, and maybe get into the Wrapped Up in Books columns, which I haven't before.
